The council of mages goes about as well as anyone could have expected, though Dhaenet, Khiymulek, and Modochaeytuun quit haDar Majyk in order to join up with the horde. The party realizes after they leave that their knowledge of exactly where haDar Majyk is retreating to could spell disaster for the entire community, so they resolve to chase down the renegade mages.

Having snuck around Majykr Balay converting mages to the cause of independence, the party gets ready to finally make some waves. They head to Koth's labs, knowing, thanks to Suusizaasay, that the Red Pinkie may be working clandestinely somewhere inside. They identify two birds with one pair of binoculars when they both hear Koth's whispers and see an entire alcove of salarian chrysalises.

After a lazy day camped out in Drellin's Ferry, the party sets out for Majykr Balay. Along the way, an unprecedentedly large swarm of stirges besets them at the edge of the forest.

The triumphant leypoint-waking party rides gaily back to Skull Gorge Bridge, having avoided the worg scouts on the way there...or so they think. They break out of the forest to witness a scene of carnage - half of the combat-ready followers that they had left to guard the bridge have been incapacitated, and the remainder fight hopelessly against a barghest and pair of worgs atop the watchtowers.

Quest complete: Return to Skull Gorge Bridge

childrenofthewyrms

On the run from worg riders of the Kulkor Zhul and exhausted from ten hours of travel, the party decided to try hunkering down in recently exposed Dhakaani ruins. They expose an immaculately scoured dining room that is clearly the site of an ancient struggle - one that did not go well for the goblinoid denizens, it seems.

A nearly full day of travel takes the leypoint-waking party to Cinder Hill, where half the horde is preparing for the march on the vale. They rest in the woods nearby until the sky begins to darken, so that they can slip into the Kulkor Zhul camp undetected while everyone is at evening services.

Having camped out just north of Skull Gorge overnight, the party prepares to take the bridge from the skeleton crew of veterans that the horde left staffing it. Nodare changes into an eagle and soars above the Rhes River to scope out the encampment, but the party isn't expecting THAT WHICH HARRIES to be lurking above the river.

After securing their noncombatants, the party makes a difficult decision about where to go from the crossroads. Avaruuk and Lledhyxshek both insist that Varaathr Draal has about half of the staff that is started out with, and the element of surprise means that there's no better time to attack than now. Agatha and Nodare wish to continue their missions first, but agree that the fortress is a worthy target. After a stealthy climb up the hill, Jinx and Avaruuk report back that there is minimal internal staffing - at most, twenty people live inside.

Having spotted a Kulkor Zhul scouting party just past the crossroads of the Dawn Way and the Witchroad, Avaruuk and their scouts retreat to the main party to begin emergency procedures. The students and other noncombatants are sent south, past the crossroads, while the combat-trained party members hunker down in ambush to the north.

Fearing an ambush by a hydra that has camped out at Blackwater Crossing, the party spends the night waiting for it to fall asleep. They make their crossing in the morning, sending nearly the whole party across at a crawl with nearly no disturbance, before letting Jinx poke through an ancient wagon that had recently deposited itself right next to the hydra's roost.
